Came here with a 10 grand budget for an engagement ring and sat outside for ten minutes to be let in while she worked with another customer then when asked to see a ring when the lady got a free moment was told I could wait. Will never be back here again. I think you need to only offer in person appointments if you’re only going to give one person the time of day and acknowledgment while the store is “open” even the other customer got uncomfortable and said “you can help her” which to she replied “they can wait”. Lost out on a loyal customer and business I wasn’t just a window shopper

We bought a beautiful Art Deco engagement ring from here that was both reasonable in cost and extremely unique! I am a very particular shopper and wanted something different in terms of a ring and Arcadian had such a vast and special collection that we had the ring picked out and purchased within the hour!! Excellent customer service as well!

I grew up in Ann Arbor and I’ve walked by the Arcadian in nickels arcade probably over a few hundred times. I moved away in my mid twenties and when my fiancée (then boyfriend) started talking about getting engaged, I knew my ring had to come from the Arcadian. The experience did not disappoint. Even though the shop was busy when we went in, we were still acknowledged and felt comfortable. The store is filled with beautiful pieces of jewelry, glassware, accessories and more that are all historic and unique. We found a beautiful 1920s Art Deco engagement and wedding band set that was very reasonably

For a small store this place has a HUGE selection. They truly care about quality and work to make sure that you are making the right decision for you and your family. Example: They were able to give me specific advice on White Gold vs Platinum based on hard vs. soft and my active lifestyle. You can tell these people truly live and breath jewelry and they get so much joy out of sharing their knowledge and beautiful selection.

My fiancé had my wedding band made here and it is even better than we ever imagined! We gave their jeweler a rough idea and he hand engraved this to perfection. We have bought several things from this store and they never disappoint. Friendly staff, speedy service especially for a custom ring because we were on a deadline for our wedding. I try to refer anyone I can to this place because they really know what they are doing and everything they have for sale is very high quality.

There are a look of reviews about the rings and necklaces, but my favorite things at the Arcadian are the antique men's accessories, like cuff links, tie bars, and fountain pens. They have an excellent collection spanning a wide variety of eras, so if you have a particular style in mind, there's a good chance they'll have something. Once thing I suggest is not waiting to buy something you like, as it may not be there when you get back. I missed out on a pair of gorgeous enamel cuff links and an amazing art nouveau crystal inkwell and brass stand set because I didn't snag them right away.

I went into the Nickels Arcade store with a tangled necklace. They took it apart and made it good as new on the spot, completely free of charge. They also gave me advice on how to take care of the chain. Very nice, fast, and knowledgeable service.
I was also amazed by the extensive selection of gorgeous jewelry and antiques.

We've been married for almost 20 years and ALL my goodies are from Rhonda, Bailey, Linda, Tim, and Madison at either the Arcadian in Nickels Arcade or the Main Street Boutique. Rhonda is expert in picking just the right surprises for me. (My spouse has pretty good taste too!) How do you think we've stayed married so long?! Love love love browsing, asking questions, and trying so hard to narrow it down to the perfect piece.... so refreshing to find ALL good stuff - beautiful, beautifully displayed, stunning sparkle, no junk! And, I'm pretty rough on my jewelry so it's a good thing they have amazing
